Why Jed Babbin Just Made the "Do Not Book" List at MSNBC

Jed Babbin has issues with MSNBC.

The Human Events contributor has culled together quotes from several months-worth of stories about the network, calling it "an asylum for people such as Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann." Babbin writes there is a war within NBC "between the network suits and the real journalists who remain." He even suggests any NBC journalist who isn't happy with the current trends at MSNBC to, "Form a small committee and demand a meeting with [GE chairman Jeffrey] Immelt. Make him listen and promise to restore NBC's journalistic standards to what they should be. If he refuses, start circulating your resumes. There will be no future for you with the Olbermann Network," Babbin writes.

But perhaps the most interesting part of Babbin's screed: the connection between Bill O'Reilly and GE's stock price...


Babbin writes, "O'Reilly's high-temperature criticism of GE and Immelt — calling him a "despicable human being" responsible for the deaths of American troops in Iraq — may even have contributed to GE's stock slide. From a high of $42.15 on October 2, 2007, GE's shares have lost 36% of shareholder value, closing last Friday at $26.83." He continues, "Liberal bias and media political activism don't benefit shareholders."

Any bets on who makes WPiTW tonight? And I'm thinking Jed Babbin is off the MSNBC booking list...
